Determine number of steps in the current month

You have to count it yourself.

Hello,

I am developing a data field. Based on what data could I count them myself? If I only count the steps while my data field is running, I would miss a lot of steps outside of activities.

Many regards,
Jens

I think you only have ActivityMonitor.Info.steps (steps since midnight). I know datafields that display that.

If you want the monthly then what you could try is to find in the connect website (or if you are luckier then in some public garmin api) the monthly steps and change your DF to an App and read that before you start the activity. But it sounds like a hack... It won't work when there's a problem with the internet or the phone is not with you. (though you could improve it if the app would poll this data after midnight and store it in preferences (Preferences.monthly_steps = monthly_steps - ActivityMonitor.Info.steps, Preferences.monthly_steps_day = today's date) But this will still not work in 100% of the cases, though it probably would be not that bad.

ActivityMonitor.getInfo().steps has today's steps since midnight and

ActivityMonitor.getHistory() will give you the total steps for each of the last few days.

Using the two you can get the total, even if the data field hasn't been using in the last few days

The DF could have a background service that is set to run just after midnight every day, that adds "Yesterday's steps" (from history) to the running total (in storage), clears the total if it's a new month, etc.

Hello,

thanks! That sounds like the way to go. I'll try that.

Many regards,
Jens
